Who would like to see a balanced mix of ages in more churches today? Who is missing? Perhaps more than at any time in the history of Christianity, the time is right to invite a young generation to explore their thoughts about spirituality, regardless of religious preference. Nancy Hawkins has written two books, previously Dear Theophilus, and now Opening Doors to a New World, to tackle the task of introducing Christianity as a joyful experience, incorporating spiritual fun to balance a serious traditional liturgy, enabling young people to find the excitement of belonging to the great Christian family. When a shadow fell over this seemingly unshakable institution, two young generations walked away, denied a pathway to the mystery and love of God and a caring church family. Opening Doors, a contemporary version of the Book of Acts, offers "dreams," ideas to cross generational and interfaith bridges. Opening Doors becomes a valuable resource with a wealth of historical information, challenging questions to stimulate discussion, a summary of important Christian events, a diagram of creation, and a brief look at twelve major religions.
